Is this on the appliance, the host running the appliance or a Node?

The Node no longer has bridges named like ovirtbr.  All bridges are now 
br$dev (i.e. breth0, breth1...)

ovirtbr0 is only used to create the bridge used by the appliance, and as 
has been said a few times the appliance is really only for demos at this 
point.  bare metal installs of ovirt-server will not have an ovirtbr0 
interface.

Doing ifconfig -a on the appliance host is not really valid.  Do it on the 
Node.  That will give you a saner and shorter list.

The rest I'll let other folks handle...
